in eveiy lino could be effected. A
lew dollars saved on a single item
may be regarded as trilling, but when

A damper was thrown >v?r the
Fair yesterday by the falling of a
window shutter from the second story
of the building, cutting a colore 1
man iu the head, from the effects of
which bo is lying in an insensible
condition with apparently little hopes
of recovery, aud wounding a colored
boy. Dra. T. K. Keller, W. 8. Bar
tou, M. G. Snlley and others were
promptly on the spot rendering every
possible medical ^attention. June
Smith was the name of the injure I
man.
Another fatal accident oc curred iu
Vauces Township near Mr. John
'fates' place on the S.intee. A color
ed mnn and woman were playing with
a loaded gun which went olf discharg
ing the whole load into tho woman
from the effects of which she died be
fore Dr. A. C. Baxter, who was called
in, could reach the spot.
The Tournumcul
As we go to press we gather the
'acts iu reference to the Tournament
of C'apt. Hardens Company, which
took place at the Fair yesterday.
? very creditable number of Knights
entered the contest, and the prizes
weie wun as follows:
1st. Prize, Knight Perseverance,
G. B Kitt re II, $20 iu gold
2nd. Prize, Black Knight, \V, J.
Kittrell, $1U in silver.
3rd. Prize Knight - F.
Gariek, $5 in silver.
Miss Julia Carton was r-ovned
Queen by the successful Knight,
wearing hor honors with marked dig
nity ami grace. Shu was attended
by Misses Ida Houser aud Kitrell as
Maids of Honor.
'1 in Cup was received by Mr.
Frank Jennings with as much grace
ami good humor a; if it was lined
with gold and bestud led with dia
monds.
A .Stroll Through flic Fair
Oil Wednesday afternoon, the first
day of the Exhibition, we enjoyed a
stroll through the Fair, and felt
g rut died at the prospects of the occa
sion . We wete informell by the
chief clerk, Mr. E 11. Wannainaker
that 825 entries had been made,
which is in advance of previous
years. There is much more d versitv
than usual, and upon the whole the
Exhibition is deemed very satisfact
ory. Iu the short stay that wo made
it was impossible to make a proper
examination of the various depart
ments, and therefore our roa ler.-> must
indulge us until the next issue for a
tuil leporc.
In the stock department some very
fair specimens of cattle, hogs, she :p
and horses are to be seen.
In the mechanical lino we were
attracted by an ca-y chair, a speci
men of the ingenuity of Dr. W. S.
Barton, which could he arranged by
a simple contrivancj to suit any
posture that may be desired. We sat
in it, and it felt like an editor's easy
chair. In the same line we w ere
much please 1 with a specimen of mV
Kimmy's workmanship in ?v mo t con
venient and useful sale. Mr. Kimmy
seems to make a specialty of such
jobs and succeeds well.
UpMairs we could not begin to see
every thing, but our attention w as
called to an interesting re?c exhibited
by Mr. W. C. Moss in the shape of an
ancient newspaper called the ".Ja
zelte and Advertiser" published in
Charleston, July '4ih 1702. It con
tains some curious an.I interesting
reading.
Mr. George Sehiffley was very kind
in showing us the White Sewing
machine exhibited by Mr. Henry
Kohn, which did some splendid work.
The Domestic and the New Wilson
exhibited by Mr Theodore Kohn arc
both formidable competitors.
We only mention these things iu
passing, and do not mean them a) n
report of the ??air. Yesterday the
Tournament was the attraction ami
crowds were pouring into town.
To day the Class Ball Practice will
come off aud the Premiums will be
awarded. Next week we will give
the result when we hope to be able to
report a successful* affair in every
way.
